Abstract

With rapid advancement in the field of computer science, the ways we use and interact with web applications have changed immensely. Developers must create web applications for browsers, cell phones, and search engines that are accessible and easy to use in various devices. Therefore, the efficiency of software development is critical. Software Design Patterns are an essential part of software development which is intended to solve real-world problems by creating templates of best practices. Design patterns bring clarity, cost-effectiveness, and better communication in the software development cycle. They also improve the development speed, support features, and usage, and they reduce expenses. Documentation and maintenance of established web applications frameworks are major advantages of software design patterns.

The study Is of Model-View-Controller (MVC) software design patterns. It analyzes and compares ASP.Net Core and Laravel PHP web application development frameworks. MVC facilitates reuse of code and separation of application layers. It explains the development experience of Project Management Web application on ASP.Net Core and Laravel. For example, web applications include a document library, a note page, and a discussion forum. Web applications use compatible programming languages such as HTML, JavaScript, and CSS. Comparative analysis has been done based on the developer’s experience and performance monitoring tools.

The study concludes that the Project Management System (PMS) web application built using ASP.Net Core on Windows is better when compared to PMS built with Laravel on Ubuntu and Windows operating systems. The developer’s conclusion is based on the use of the MVC design pattern, learning curve, framework features, documentation, and application performance.
